The Hindu Vijayanagar Empire was based off of the Hindu religion and social structure. According to britanicca.com, "In time Vijayanagar became the greatest empire of southern India. By serving as a barrier against invasion by the Muslim sultanates of the north, it fostered the reconstruction of Hindu life and administration after the disorders and disunities of the 12th and 13th centuries."
